Synopsis
The Other Woman: A completely gripping psychological thriller with a heart-pounding twist
There are three of us in this marriage. One of us has to go…
David and I used to be the golden couple that everyone wanted to be. But as I sit in the dark corner of a crowded bar and watch his arm wrap around the waist of his beautiful younger colleague, Nina, my worst nightmare is confirmed: my husband is having an affair.
I swear to do whatever it takes to save my marriage. But when David doesn’t come home one evening, I drown my sorrows. I wake up with a pounding headache, no memory of the night before, and no idea where David is. As I desperately try to piece the night together, my blood runs cold when I hear the news that something awful has happened to Nina.
I have to find out the truth about what happened last night, even if that means betraying my husband. Because David isn’t the only one with secrets in this marriage, and I’ll do anything to stop mine from being discovered.
An utterly addictive and twisty read about obsession that will have you racing to the end! If you love Lisa Jewell, The Girl on the Train and Behind Closed Doors, you won’t be able to put this down!

My Review
The Other Woman by Holly Down
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
3.5 stars
The Other Woman is an interesting premise. The story is well written and caught my attention right away. It is a multiple point of view novel where it is not always clear who should be trusted. There are a few big twists that I did not see coming but which were believable and plausible.
The second half of the book reads very differently than the first half.
I’m not sure if the resolution was satisfying for me. I think I wanted a bit more from the ending. I did enjoy the epilogue.
Overall, The Other Woman is a quick, engaging read. Fans of psychological thrillers will enjoy this one.
